My most helpful tip for language learning is: To really immerse yourself in a language, it's important to surround yourself with it as often as possible. Set your phone to the target language, read articles and books, watch videos, movies or series and listen to podcasts - it all helps to develop a feel for the language and experience it in different contexts.

My biggest inspiration for language learning is: For me, learning a new language is the key to another world. It's as if a new perspective on life opens up - through the language you also get to know people's ways of thinking, traditions and values. This helps to develop a deeper understanding of other cultures that goes far beyond simple translations. Every language I learn makes me understand the world a little better.

My most helpful tip for language learning: Don’t worry about making mistakes; try to initiate conversation in the language you want to practice, even with strangers. At first, it might be weird, but as long as you try to speak, people will always appreciate your effort. If possible, find a group of people to learn together. 

My biggest inspiration for language learning: Learning new languages is a wonderful way to open the door to a different culture and thinking way, because it is usually not possible to understand a foreign culture only through translations.
